You do have
charts for this trip, right? And know how to use them?

Yes Wayne, I did purchase a set of charts last year at the boat show. I
traveled by car for that show. To be quite honest though this will be the
first time I have needed to boat by charts. Because nearly all of my boating
experience has been lake boating, and very deep lakes at that, where there
really is no concern of running aground, or needing to stay within a channel.
I do have a GPS unit, and am fairly competent in its use. As long as the
weather is nice, and I take it slow and easy, I hope to be okay.
